Long Travel BS Thread

cool. will do thanks

 

Has anyone ran ORI struts on their Tacoma? I see they have a setups that will run 12"-16."

 

Shocks for the rear? 3" of up travel isnt very much. If you had bumps youll already be on them

 

Hey guys this isn't long travel related but I'm picking up some piggy back 2.0 fox shocks in the rear. Am I gonna see a big different from ome rears?

 

What are they valved for? Tacoma specifically or something else?

 

They should be smoother, but that depends on the valving, I went from Bilstein's to Walker Evans and the ride improved x10times

 

would it be a bad idea to run All Pro 5" lift springs and 12" shackles SUA

 

All-Pro 5" springs

You mean these: OR these:

 

^^^
these ones

 

are these for the rear of your truck?

King makes a better product but they will be more expensive and their rebuild kits and shims are way overpriced. Fox is about the same initial cost, same quality and cheeper to rebuild.

those springs are designed to be run spring over axel and will be to short as a SUA set up, You want the "baja" leafs if you intend to run a SUA set up. they are 62" eye to eye and are a direct replacement for the Deaver F55 and F67 packs.

 

so pretty much theres no way to get around needing new spring mounts?

 

not unless you have an 05+ and get the Defined Engineering kit, on the older tacomas its pretty easy to convert the rear end to SUA with a TC 12" shackle and mounting the upper pivot on top of the frame. There are a bunch of people running a similar set-up, im sure a few on here so someone will pipe in.

 

quick question, who was the person who made a video of his truck and it was fully LT and it have the rear shocks above the bed. i forgot the name of it.. it starts with a C i think.

thank you

 

So you're not doing a LT rear on your truck then?!

 

So just looked through your build thread, so with Deavers, you're running a 12" shock in the stock location?! Have you cycled the suspension to measure the amount of uptravel and downtravel?!

 

what do you mean there to short, is there any reason i couldn't run them SUA or is it just that there would be no real benefits if i did?

 

for sale not mine
